About
Athletes vs Asthma
Founded by 400 meter Track and Field World Champion and NFL alumni, Tyree Washington, Athletes vs Asthma is a not-for-profit organization offering resources, support and advocacy for children affected by asthma. Our primary focus is funding educational programs, support for treatment and interactive events for children and teens diagnosed with asthma.
Through partnerships with athletes, celebrities and influencers, Athletes vs Asthma will host athletic events to raise money to fund research, early intervention programs and support for treatment.
Donate
Every donation supports programs that provide education, resources for treatment, academic scholarships and interactive events. With approximately 6 million children under the age of 18 living with asthma, your support will make a big difference.
Who We Help
Athletes vs Asthma is for families with children living with asthma. We’re here to support the efforts of parents to help their kids enjoy a higher quality of life. Asthma is an unforgiving, chronic disease of the lungs. Managing it often takes away from the joy of just being a kid. Through our interactive programs, we aim to rewrite this story for kids with asthma.
Together, we can show your child that there’s more to life than just worrying about their next asthma attack. Just like Tyree, they too can do more than what most think is possible.
